The Guardian seems to be covering for the government through the election. Its headlines keep altering to more upbeat ones. For instance, yesterday The Guardian began its coverage of crime figures by following the rest of the press in emphasising an increase in violent crime. Then, hours later, the headline had changed to one that stressed the 11% drop in overall crime. Today, the paper carried a story about Blair's "pledge" to clamp down on "illegal immigrants". Just hours later, without irony, the headline reads Blair hits out at Tories over asylum. Typical Blairite triangulation - pander to the right in policy, then massage the left in words.
